Precision Sheet Metal Fabrication for Hillsborough County Manufacturers
GT Precision Manufacturing is Hillsborough County's in-house precision sheet metal fabricator. From our Tampa shop on East Columbus Drive, we serve OEMs, engineering firms, and manufacturers across all of Hillsborough County — from downtown Tampa to Plant City, from Lutz to Ruskin — with CNC punching, press brake forming, and welding done under one roof, by operators who've been doing this since 2013.

Why a Hillsborough-Based Fabricator Beats an Out-of-State Option
Several national sheet metal shops run SEO landing pages targeting Tampa and Hillsborough County — but they fabricate parts in New Hampshire, Ohio, or Texas. What that looks like for your project:

For one-off jobs, a national vendor can work. For an ongoing manufacturing relationship, local wins.
Industries We Serve in Hillsborough County
We're selective about the work we take — and so are our customers. GT Precision builds parts for industries where quality, repeatability, and documentation matter:
-
Medical device manufacturing — stainless, aluminum, and specialty alloys for FDA-regulated products
-
Defense and security equipment manufacturers — precision sheet metal for secure and regulated applications
-
Data center and AI computing infrastructure — enclosures, racks, and chassis for mission-critical electronics
-
Secure electronic systems — housings and panels for regulated electronic hardware
-
Commercial truck manufacturing — production brackets, panels, and structural fabrication
-
Industrial supply and metal distribution — fabricated components and production runs for supply chain partners
If your Hillsborough County manufacturing operation needs a fabricator who can work to print and deliver consistently, we'd like to talk.
What We Do In-House
No outsourcing, no middlemen, no "we'll get a quote from our partner shop." Everything happens on one floor:
-
CNC punching — two AMADA CNC punch presses: PEGA-345 (33-ton, 58″×98″) and AE2510NT
-
Press brake forming — two press brakes, 50-ton and 88-ton, beds up to 8 feet
-
TIG and MIG welding — Miller Dynasty 350 and Millermatic 252
-
PEM fastener insertion — two PEMserter presses + Haeger 618 Plus
-
Assembly, finishing prep, and quality check
Prototype to Production
We work with Hillsborough County manufacturers at every stage of the product lifecycle:
-
Prototype quantities — we routinely run 1- and 2-piece quotes without minimum order surcharges
-
Low-to-mid-volume production — 50 to 5,000 piece runs
-
Repeat production — for customers with ongoing monthly or quarterly releases
If you're an engineering firm working on a new product, we can handle the first ten pieces and still be the shop running the hundredth batch next year.
